hi all,

i have a 2004 wrx and been having trouble selecting 1st and reverse it feels like something is stopping the lever moving after a few attempts it will go in

seems worse when cold as still under warranty until jan i took to local sub dealer they say normal for impreza box never had subaru before so do not know if that is correct or they are spinning me a line

any advise from all you people that know subaru would be great

thanks all

Same here (MY00 Classic Turbo) but eases when warmed up. Going to try the tranny fluid then go from there if no Luck.

i was thinking trans fluid as mine done 54000 and it is due change at 60000 so might do it early before warranty expires and see if any change to operation

Certainly sounds like the way forward mate, elliminate it it if nothing else. Good Luck

will try and get oil changed this week and let you know if it makes a difference

my 02 wrx has always done this, when it jams i just pop in to 3rd then back in to first

johnnyroper

on your 02 wrx has the problem got worse or does it just stay the same?

i will try putting in 3rd first see if that helps
